About

Place Carmin centers its culinary identity on traditional French techniques applied to an extensive selection of fresh maritime ingredients and flame-grilled meats. The menu emphasizes precise preparation methods that highlight the inherent quality of sustainably sourced fish and shellfish alongside robust cuts of beef. Patrons encounter a focused culinary approach where the natural flavors of seafood take precedence, supported by rich, reduction-based sauces and seasonal vegetable accompaniments. The interior environment prioritizes functional simplicity, allowing the direct connection between the open grill station and the dining floor to define the atmosphere. Each plate demonstrates a commitment to classic continental preparation styles, ensuring that charred proteins and delicate aquatic elements remain the primary focus throughout the experience. This establishment maintains a rigorous standard for consistent execution of foundational French culinary arts.

It was Meh! The fries were super salty & overcooked.
The desserts were good though.

Fantastic food & incredible service. If you have a large group, highly recommend the tasting menu where you get to try all of the popular dishes. Jean Michelle was our server & he was very kind to our group + great about answering the questions we had.

On a fêté les 30 ans de ma grande amie ici. Menu 5 services pour 90$. Le service était vraiment impécable, merci 💕✨🍸 puisque nous étions in grand groupe, le pouboire était ajouté automatiquement, mais c'était inscrit dans le contrat initial!

I got really nice experience here. The restaurant atmosphere is nice. Environment is quiet & the service is good. Orange duck & the fillet are awesome, & I really love the scallop which is really refreshing. Other dishes are good as well. The price match the quality of their food. Wait time is not so long. Strongly recommended. I will revisit this restaurant if I come to Montreal again.

Un très bon restaurant, avec un très joli cadre ! J'ai jamais goûté des champignons aussi délicieux ! Je les recommande fortement ! La crème brûlée était trop bonne & les quantités très généreuses.

The food tastes good, but the amount of protein is ridiculously tiny, as is the desserts. The current trend of not raising prices any further (which have already increased a lot over the past five years) but instead reducing portion sizes-especially for meat, fish, & even desserts-is unpleasant.

After I went there yesterday I can definitely say that it's my favorite restaurant in Montreal.
I went there to celebrate a special occasion for two & our table was a bit surrounded by others so I asked on reception to move us, & they did!
The evening was amazing. Cocktail that I had had a rich taste & classic french elegance. We ordered a fish for two & the portions didn't disappoint.
I would strongly recommend this place to everyone!!
